Gender Neutral Prefix added to My Disney Experience. Let’s try and get this out of the way fast for those reading the whole article. Before anyone goes all negative, DIsney has been working very hard to become inclusive for everyone. They are doing everything they can to include you, me, the people around you, your neighbors who may not look like you or me.
Furthermore, those that identify differently than what society says is normal. There is not one thing wrong with that! What you think is weird or wrong, might be perfectly right to the other person, and they may feel that way about your life. So please, do not get on the comments section and spew any hate. We need more love, and less hate in the world right now. You don’t have to agree, but people also don’t have to spew hatred.

Gender Neutral Prefix
The gender-neutral Mx. is used as a title for those who do not identify as being of a particular gender, or for people who simply don’t want to be identified by gender. ‘Mx. ‘ is a gender-neutral honorific for those who don’t wish to be identified by gender.
Before anyone jumps the gun and says this is just a new trend, there is a history of wanting Gender Neutral Prefix added as a prefix since 1970. The X is intended as a “wildcard” character and not for mixed gender. For example, those that would use X in Xmas, or Xing for crossing. Although Mx remains uncommon in the United States, in April 2016 it was added to the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary

This is highly offensive. I wish Disney would stop catering to a miniscule percentage. So where does it stop? Can someone who is obviously white now identify as black? Can someone identify as being from another country? If I’m 5 feet tall can I now identify as 7 feet tall? The answer is NO!
Exactly
Thank you for your initial comments! Inclusivity is so important in such a divisive world, and I think this is another step Disney is taking to respect its guests and continue being the happiest place on earth. ?
Good for Disney! I am always glad to see more inclusiveness in the “World” and I don’t understand the folks who object to it. They still have all the old prefixes, so you’re free to use whichever one works for you. I’ll stick with Ms. but am delighted that friends who are non-binary have an option as well!
Just because I disagree with what is written here does not make me hate anyone and to call me that is wrong I cannot lie about someone else’s identity there are only males and females in this world your DNA states that so why make the rest of us have to pretend otherwise life is what it is whether you like it or not black and white the sky is blue the grass and green but I can’t reverse it just because I want to if you want to do something like being gay or whatever other term you want to use that’s fine for you but you cannot make everyone oblige to your likings That’s called freedom
